One hour decant. Drank over two days. The wine is in good shape. No hint of fading yet. Nicely evolved fruity flowery merlot aromas and flavours with licorice notes. Probably best on the nose. Time stands still finish. Intensely introverted and garagiste. There are plenty of better QPR wines in Bordeaux but it is an interesting and enjoyable wine none-the-less.

First bottle since Christmas 2019. I think that this great wine reached its peak in 2018/2019 and is now on the long slow downward. It is still very recognizable as Senejac 2010 with it's wonderful signature presence but the mystery factor of 'just how good is this wine going to get?' has now been answered. As George Harrison used to say 'All Things Must Pass'.
Five hour decant. This is drinking beautifully. Slightly mute on the nose. Lovely fruit. The finish has graceful power. This was magnificent matched with a steak. I really liked the crowd-pleaser vibes on display here. Super wine. Worth popping a cork if you enjoy young Bordeaux.
